Community excavation exploring the remains of a probable late 18th-century building that sits on a platform that could previously have housed Thurster Tower. The site is located in the area of Thrumster, c.1.2 km to the south-east of Thrumster House, in an area known as Long Greens.

The excavation will teach the archaeological skills needed to understand and investigate an archaeological site. No previous experience is necessary. They can teach you all that you need to know. And provide the equipment you will need.

The dig will be led by Andy Heald of AOC Archaeology. Further details on the Yarrows Trust website. If you would like to take part, contact Yarrows Heritage: heritage@yarrowsheritagetrust.co.uk
